LUBBOCK, Texas — A bright November sunrise spreads over the South Plains this morning, painting the horizon in pale gold. The breeze feels gentle now, but beneath the calm lies change — a warm, dry stretch that ends with a weekend cool-down across West Texas.
Temperatures soar to around 79°F today, under full sunshine and a west wind near 15 mph. The air remains dry and stable, excellent for travel and field work, though fire danger remains elevated in open, grassy areas. Drivers along I-27 and Highway 84 can expect clear skies and excellent visibility through Friday.
Thursday will feel almost summery, climbing to near 85°F, about 15 degrees above seasonal norms. It’s the warmest day of the week — perfect for late fall chores, early holiday decorating, or travel prep. Winds shift northward late Thursday, signaling that the pattern is about to flip.
By Friday, highs dip to the mid-70s, and a fresh breeze sweeps across the plains. Saturday and Sunday bring the first real hint of late-fall chill, with highs only near 73°F Saturday and 58°F Sunday, and morning lows falling into the 30s.
No rain is expected, but the air turns noticeably crisper — a sign that Texas is edging closer to its first frost potential before Thanksgiving. After all, November has a way of shifting fast, and this one seems poised to trade dry warmth for something a little more seasonal next week.
